Hey everyone, I'm MadeLoud's editor. In my spare time I play the drums, read voraciously, enjoy live music and make snarky quips as fast as I can roll them out.

I'm on Google+.

Interests:

After twenty-odd years of avoiding coffee, I've found an appreciation for it. So you might find me at Bennu in Austin (since my first update of my in-te-rests, three of my favorite java establishments have closed. Yikes!). My favorite record stores are Good Records in Dallas and End of an Ear and Waterloo Records.

Hi, I just released 6 albums. No one knows about the music yet. It's kind of underground slacker music. The kind that college kids would take ketamine and ditch class to. No one has reviewed it or even looked at it as far as I know. But they are 92 songs no one has heard. I can send you a DL link if you want a whole album.

Dhruva Ailman and Marco Oppedisano are from opposite ends of the country - Aliman calls California home, and Oppedisano lives in New York - but they both make intriguing instrumental music, and hey, they're both MadeLoud artists. Small world, right?
Aliman is a composer who delves into electronica and dance as frequently as ambient music. His music has appeared in diverse places, from "Keeping... Read more

The world is endlessly complex, isn't it? The ease of communication and our access to recording equipment puts what was once the domain of the bro-ed out music producer/trust fund baby into our domain.
I like this "Wonderwall" remix that MadeLoud artist Elements of Noise did. It's a dance-friendly revisit to a slowed-down cover that Chan Marshall's project did of the incredibly ubiquitous (in... Read more

My trip across the State looked to be sidelined for an undetermined amount of time, but thanks to the help of Abilene insurance adjustor Russell (hi Russ!) and an El Paso body shop, Van Halen will soon be back on the road, guzzling gas up into the panhandle/across the Dallas metroplex, and then eventually to east Texas. I'm kind of dying to get out of El Paso, not because it's hot and weird here... Read more

Abilene's a nice place, but I'm pushing this poor city to its limits into what looks like a six or seven day visit. The original plan was to meet friends here for my birthday (saving them the trip to El Paso, a courtesy I didn't extend to my girlfriend Marie) and then head west again. Unfortunately, I had a traffic accident on I-20 that could only be described as “country”: a water trough flew... Read more

It turns out that from the Marfa area to El Paso you don't have much other than inflated gas prices (3.92 a gallon wtf?) and more baked earth. I drove past the literally-scorched stretch of land outside Ft. Davis that suffered wildfires earlier this year, and though I meant to extend my trip west to take up about two weeks, I found myself in El Paso before I knew it. With my friend Lauren's... Read more
